Birch syrup is a truly unique flavor from Michigan's Upper Peninsula (The UP).  Munising is on the shore of Lake Superior and home of Pictured Rocks Syrup Co.  This is where we make our Birch Syrup.
Birch syrup is concentrated from the sap of Birch trees.  Birch syrup is much more difficult to make than Maple syrup as it takes over 110 gallons of  sap to make a gallon of Birch syrup compared to 43 gallons for Maple syrup.  We first use reverse osmosis to remove water from the sap and then utilize two different evaporation processes to concentrate the sugars to 67% (67Brix) and into syrup.  Our experience has showed that although this process is both difficult and time consuming it is necessary to allow us to make a Birch syrup that doesn't taste like molasses, as many do.  Our syrup is filtered through a filter press and hot bottled in glass with tamper evident packaging.  All our syrups are 100% pure.  Nothing added.
Birch syrup is very nutritious.  The predominant sugar in Birch syrup is fructose.  Fructose is more easily digested and assimilated by our bodies than other sugars.  Birch syrup contains significant quantities of calcium, potassium, manganese, and other nutrients.  The sap, or "Birch Water", is known around the world for its curative properties and is collected and drank in northern boreal  forests around the globe.  Chaga, the medicinal mushroom, grows on Birch trees.  In fact, some of the Birch trees we tap have Chaga growing on them.
Try using Birch syrup in baked beans, cornbread, cookies and breads, in salad dressings, on ice cream, oatmeal, pork and fish.  Try it in milkshakes and making beer and on pancakes and pie.
Birch syrup is a natural and nutritional sweetner.  Try some!
